Joyce Corporation Ltd 2013 Annual Report I PAGE 3

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

I  am  pleased  to  announce  the  net  consolidated  result  for  Joyce  Corporation  Ltd  to  30thJune  2013  of
$0.668 Million. This compares with a profit of $3Million for last year to 30th June 2012.

The underlying profit for this period for continuing operations was $2.2M after tax,  whilst the operating
cash flow remained above expectations. The comparative year ended 30 June 2012 included a one-off
property revaluation increase $3.5M before tax against a current year revaluation $1.26 M.

Operating cash flow has continued to improve with continuing operations increasing to $1.4 Million for
year compared to $1.2 Million for the prior year ended 30 June 2012.

An interim dividend was paid on 24th July 2013 for 1 cent unfranked per ordinary share.

A decision on the quantum of the final dividend will be reviewed and announced at the appropriate time.

The Company’s franchise business Bedshed performed well and above expectations.
Total network sales grew modestly in 2013 on a year on year, like for like basis.

As  previously  announced  the  year’s  result  was  a  transition  from  underperforming  Bedshed  Company
owned stores in Regional Australia and stand-alone locations and investing in the future  growth of the
group’s activities within our highly successful Bedshed Franchise model.

We  are  pleased  to  announce  that  a  surrender  of  lease  was  negotiated  with  Centre  Management  at
Mittagong in NSW and we have exited this company owned store in early August 2013.

We  have  taken  up  store  closure  provisions  in  the  year  end  results  which,  together  with  discontinuing
operations  losses,  totals  $1.57M.  The  lease  surrender  negotiations  have  seen  a  net  savings  effect  on
over all potential liability to the full term of the leases in all cases.

The  group  has  a  very  valuable  asset  with  its  41,840  sq  m  industrial  property  site  at  Bridges  Road
Moorebank.  This  is  in  South  West  Sydney  and  adjoins  the  Georges  River  and  is  attainable  from  the
on/off  ramp  of  the  busy  M5  Motorway.  This  property  is  currently  rented  to  a  leading Australian  Foam
manufacturer  at  sub-economic  market  rents.  The  past  registered  independent  valuation  was  $17.9M,
with sub-economic rent contributing to the lower carrying value in the accounts.

It is the company’s intention that it seek to divest this property asset in the fullness of time.

I am pleased to announce the company has received a notification from the tenant advising it will seek
to  take–up  the  option  for  a  further  10  years  at  a  commercial  rent  and  confirmed  their  interest  in
potentially purchasing the property.

This  additional  rent  in  the  near  future  will  see  a  positive  net  performance  lift  and  the  company  is
budgeting strong ongoing profitability as a result of difficult decisions the board undertook this year with
respect to company owned stores.
The group is in a financially conservative gearing position and may seek to leverage its strong balance
sheet in the near future to improve the returns to shareholders.

It is important to note the company has $2.0M of inventory tied up in company stores.

I  would  like  to  recognise  the  efforts  and  achievements  of  the  Board  and  the  Executive  Director,  Mr
Anthony  Mankarios  and  the  entire  Management  team  in  addressing  and  resolving  outstanding  issues
and placing our Group in a far stronger position to undertake sustained renewed growth.

I commend the Group’s prospects to you.

Dan Smetana
Chairman

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Operational Review

Bedshed, one of our core Business Units (BU’s), managed to expand its network sales during the year.
It grew modestly year on year and like for like with total network written sales.

This growth was aided by the introduction of the new generation store fit-out, design and point of sale
program called the Bedshed Evolution Program. We anticipated continuing growth as additional stores
embrace the new fit-out.

A new franchisee was approved to take over from the Nunawading Victorian Franchise store which
ceased operations in January 2013. This store opened in August 2013 with the new evolution fit-out
program.

During the year management was heavily involved with setting and implementing targeted exit
strategies for existing company owned stores in regional areas and stand-alone locations, which had
been determined as being in less than optimum positions.

The leases were terminated with 4 stores during the period and a non-recurring provision was taken up
in our books as a result. There is another location that was exited in August 2013. In each case, these
exits will save the company significant expense over the remaining term of the leases.

 Non-recurring losses and provisions in aggregate totalled $1.57M before tax in the final accounts.

Additional provisions taken up at 30 June 2013 for closed and closing stores was $0.35M.

The following Company owned stores were exited:

(cid:120)  Warners Bay NSW
(cid:120)  Shepparton Vic
(cid:120)  Bendigo Vic
(cid:120)  Wodonga Vic

The company will seek to franchise in better locations where our demographics suit the quality product
mix.

The Company’s Moorebank Property underwent a series of improvements during the year. The 41,840
square meter site is located near the Georges River and in proximity to the proposed $400M Inter-
modal development in 2014, aimed at relieving container freight away from busy Port Botany and
improving congestion on the busy M5 Motorway that accesses the site.

The existing tenant has indicated their desire to progress with the 10 - year lease option in 2015 should
they not be successful in purchasing the property.

The property has been carried in our books at sub-economic rent valuations. This will cease in late
November 2015, when rents move to market rents. With each year approaching 2015 the valuation
approaches the commercialisation rents and as such an appropriate lift in the property value is taken up
toward the value based on an independent registered valuer’s report.

The Directors have also further valued the property based on market information from external valuers,
recent sales values and recent rents achieved that are published by independent third parties. The
decision was based on increased rental rates and reducing yields. To determine the value the rent was
left unchanged even though there was evidence increases and a yield of 9% on market rent was used
which results in total valuation increase of $416K before tax.

The Company not only took part in cost reduction programs set to guide the group into maintainable
future profits; it also enhanced the Company’s prospects considerably. A Joyce Corporation subsidiary
took up a convertible notes investment in KWB Group Pty Ltd (KWB) during the latter half of this
financial year. KWB’s current management team also elected to invest alongside Joyce.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2013 Annual Report I PAGE 5

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)

KWB group is the largest specialty independent retailer of kitchens and wardrobes in Australia, with 12
stores in Qld, SA and NSW at 30 June 2013. Joyce aims to enhance the group by assisting with the
introduction of a suitable structure for their franchise business expansion across Australia.

Joyce will consider whether it will convert its secured notes in the group into majority stake equity at
some stage in the near future. At this point, should the Company elect to convert, the KWB group’s
estimated $25M revenue will be consolidated into Joyce Corporation’s accounts creating significant
growth in our retail footprint across Australia.

The board undertook an auditor review in late 2012, BDO Perth was appointed as the new auditors after
the  AGM  resolution  was  carried  for  this  financial  year.  This  pro-actively  resulted  in  a  thorough
constructive  review  of  past  treatments  to  the  accounting  standards.  BDO  have  outlined  accounting
adjustments required to meet the standards in the accounts pertaining to periods prior to 2007. This has
resulted in a re-instatement of the prior year accounts in this period. As a result $389K affected the prior
year Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as an equity item. There was  also a reclassification
from  retained  earnings  to  revaluation  reserves  of  $2.62m  pertaining  to  2006  that  has  not  affected  the
net equity.

Future Outlook

The Company has taken significant provisions to ensure future maintainable profits provide adequate
returns to shareholders.

The exit of its Company owned store at Mittagong took place in August and this one-off expense
provision was taken up in this reporting period.

The Company’s prospects are positive given the recent lift in activity in its core Bedshed Franchising
business. Currently operations are currently meeting profit expectations in a challenging retail
environment. The Company’s significant property asset at Moorebank will underpin the group’s activities
and growth plans.

The  retail  market  continues  to  remain  subdued  as  consumer  confidence,  a  federal  election  and  a
sluggish  housing  market impact  on  the  market. Further  reductions  in  interest  rates  should  be  positive
and underpin consumer confidence. There remains risk from the decline in employment from the run off
from the mining industry. A decline in the Australian dollar against the US dollar also has the potential to
reduce  margins  and  this  is  being  addressed  through  newer  lower  cost  products,  product  ranging
decisions  and  a  continued  focus  on  cost  management.  The  Company  remains  in  a  positive  cash
position  with  adequate  undrawn  bank  facilities  and  a  low  net  debt  position  that  provides  flexibility  to
undertake future acquisitions and grow the Bedshed franchise network.

Rounding of Amounts

The Consolidated entity has applied the relief available to it in ASIC Class Order 98/100 and
accordingly  certain  amounts  in  the  financial  report  and  the  Directors’  Report  have  been
rounded off to the nearest $1,000.

This report is signed in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors

Your Directors present their report on the Consolidated Entity, consisting of Joyce Corporation Ltd (“the Company”) and
the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2013.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

During the year the principal continuing activities of the Consolidated Entity consisted of being:

(a)  The franchisor of the Bedshed chain of retail bedding stores; and
(b)  An owner of a number of Bedshed retail stores.
(c)  Property Investment

No significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Consolidated Entity occurred during the year.

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the year ended 30 June 2013 (“the Financial Year”) the Consolidated Entity, achieved revenue from continuing
operations  of  $14,608,000  (2012:  $15,003,000)  and  a  profit  from  continuing  operations  after  taxation  of  $2,366,000
(2012:  $5,009,000)  and  an  overall  net  profit  after  tax  of  $668,000  (2012:  $3,035,000).  The  reduction  in  revenue
primarily resulted from the reduced number of stores and the new Evolution store refit at one store. Like for like sales
growth has  been achieved across  the Bedshed stores  network  although there has  been some minor margin  pressure
from a lower Australian dollar and increased discounting in the market.

Profit was supported with revaluation of the investment property at Moorebank in NSW. Further valuation increases are
expected from the expiration of subsidised rental period out to November 2015.

Closure of Company-owned stores

During the year ended 30 June 2013, the Consolidated Entity provided for the closure of one underperforming company
owned store and closed four previously announced company owned stores. These stores were in sub-optimal regional
locations with net present value of closure costs falling below expected operating losses for the remaining lease term.

Financial Position

At 30 June 2013 the Consolidated Entity had equity of $22,133,000 (2012: $21,918,000); cash and cash equivalents of
$3,439,000  (2012:  $3,774,000)  and  unutilised  debt  facilities  of  $622,000  (2012:  $640,000)  (refer  to note  4  for  further
details).

Bank Facility

The Board is pleased to advise that the Consolidated Entity has successfully extended its longer term debt funding
facility with St George Bank from March 2014 to 30 July 2015. This outcome is indicative of St George Bank’s
understanding and support of the Consolidated Entity’s strategy. A $1.6m facility which is subject to annual review was
also extended.

Remuneration Committee

The  Remuneration  Committee  Charter  establishes  the  role  of  the  Remuneration  Committee  which  is  to  review  and
make  recommendations  on  Board  and Executive Director  remuneration: senior  management  remuneration;  executive
share  plan  participation;  human  resource  and  remuneration  policies;  and  senior  management  succession  planning,
appointments and terminations.

The  main  responsibilities  of  the  Remuneration  Committee  includes  reviewing  and  making  recommendations  on
remuneration  policies  for  the  company  including,  in  particular,  those  governing  the  directors,  Executive  Director  and
senior management.

The  Remuneration  Committee  comprises  a  majority  of  non-executive  directors  and  at  least  three  members.  The
Chairman of the committee is appointed by the Board and must be a non-executive director.

The Remuneration  Committee is  required to  meet  as  and  when  required  by  the Chairman.  The committee  may  invite
persons  deemed  appropriate  to  attend  meetings  and  may  take  such  independent  advice  as  it  considers  appropriate.
Any committee member may request the Chairman call a meeting.

REMUNERATION AND DIVERSITY REPORT – AUDITED (CONTINUED)

The Remuneration Committee is required to assess its effectiveness  periodically. In addition the Charter is required to
be revised annually and updated as required.

Remuneration Policies

The  objective  of  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  executive  reward  framework  is  to  ensure  reward  for  performance  is
competitive  and  appropriate  for  the  results  delivered.  The  framework  aligns  executive  reward  with  achievement  of
strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms to market practice for delivery of reward.
The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

(cid:120)  competitiveness and reasonableness;
(cid:120)  acceptability to shareholders;
(cid:120)  performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation;
(cid:120)  transparency; and
(cid:120)  capital management.

In  consultation  with  external  remuneration  consultants,  where  appropriate,  the  Consolidated  Entity  has  structured  an
executive  remuneration  framework  that  is  market  competitive  and  complementary  to  the  reward  strategy  of  the
organisation.

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)

Alignment to shareholders’ interests:

(cid:120)  has economic profit as a core component of plan design;
(cid:120)  focuses on sustained growth in shareholder  wealth, consisting of  dividends and growth in share price,
and delivering constant return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers
of value; and

(cid:120)  attracts and retains high calibre executives.

Alignment to program participants’ interests:

(cid:120)  rewards capability and experience;
(cid:120)  reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth;
(cid:120)  provides a clear structure for earning rewards; and
(cid:120)  provides recognition for contribution.

Non-executive Directors

Fees and payments to non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the
Directors.  Non-executive  Directors’  fees  and  payments  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Board.  The  Board  considers,
where  appropriate,  the  advice  of  independent  remuneration  consultants  to  ensure  non-executive  Directors’  fees  and
payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The Chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of
non-executive  Directors  based  on  comparative  roles  in  the  external  market.  The  Chairman  is  not  present  at  any
discussions relating to determination of his own remuneration.

The  current  base  remuneration  was  last  reviewed  with  effect  from  30  June  2011.  The  Chairman's  remuneration  is
inclusive  of  committee  fees  and  other  non-executive  Directors  who  are  members  of  a  committee  do  not  receive
additional yearly fees.

Non-executive  Directors’  fees  are  determined  within  an  aggregate  Directors’  fee  pool  limit,  which  is  periodically
recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $500,000 per annum and was approved
by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 22 November 2012.

Executive pay

Fixed Remuneration

The level  of  fixed  remuneration  is set so  as  to  provide  a  base level  of  remuneration  which  is  both  appropriate  to the
position and is competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee and
the  process  involves  the  review  of  Consolidated  Entity  and  individual  performance,  and  relevant  comparative
remuneration in the market.

Variable Remuneration - Short Term Incentives

The goals consist of a number of key performance indicators (KPI's) covering both financial and non-financial, corporate
and  individual  measures  of  performance.    Included  in  the  measures  are  contributions  to  net  profit  before  tax,  cash
targets  and  departmental  functional  KPI's. At  the  end  of  the  financial  year  the  remuneration  committee  assesses  the
actual  performance  of  the  Consolidated  Entity,  the  relevant  segment  and  individual  against  the  KPIs  set  at  the
beginning  of  the  financial  year.  Should  the  Consolidated  Entity,  or  the  relevant  segment,  achieve  the  set  KPIs,  the
Board  will  reward  the  key  management  personnel  with  a  bonus  during  the  salary  review.  A  percentage  of  a  pre-
determined maximum amount is awarded  depending on results. No bonus is awarded where  performance falls  below
the minimum.

The  Consolidated  Entity  provided  executives  with  variable  remuneration  in  the  form  of  short-term  incentives  as

financial year ending 30 June 2013.

F. Voting at the 2012 Annual General Meeting on the Remuneration report

The Remuneration  report  in  the  2012 Annual  Report  to shareholders  was  approved  by  99.9%  of  shareholders  at  the
2012  Annual  General  Meeting.  No  specific  feedback  was  received  at  the  Annual  General  Meeting  or  throughout  the
year.

G. Independent Salary and Incentive Review

During the year the company undertook an independent salary and incentive review so as to benchmark
existing  salary  and  incentive  policies  and  levels.  The  Review  was  undertaken  by  the  independent
professional firm of Gerard Daniels Australia. In general the company policies and remuneration levels
were found to be consistent with the markets in which  we operate, although some changes have been
made to ensure greater consistency in some aspects of our remuneration practices.  Total fees charged
for this service was $16,000 + GST.   During the financial year  ended 30 June 2012  the Company did
not engage any remuneration consultants.

(cid:120)  Gerard  Daniels  was  engaged  by,  and  reported  directly  to,  the  chair  of  the  remuneration
committee. The agreement for the provision of remuneration consulting services was executed
by the chair of the remuneration committee under delegated authority on behalf of the board.
(cid:120)  The  report  containing  the  remuneration  recommendations  was  provided  by  Gerard  Daniels

directly to the chair of the remuneration committee; and

(cid:120)  Gerard  Daniels  was  permitted  to  speak  to  management  throughout  the  engagement  to
understand company processes, practices and other business issues and  obtain management
perspectives.  However,  Gerard  Daniels  was  not  permitted  to  provide  any  member  of
management  with  a  copy  of  their  draft  or  final  report  that  contained  the  remuneration
recommendations.

As  a  consequence,  the  board  is  satisfied  that  the  recommendations  were  made  free  from  undue
influence from any members of the key management personnel.

INSURANCE OF OFFICERS

During the financial year, Joyce Corporation Ltd paid a premium to insure the Directors and secretaries of the Company
and its Australian-based controlled entities, and senior executives of  the Consolidated Entity. A clause in the relevant
insurance policy prevents the disclosure of the amount of the premium.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought
against  the  officers  in  their  capacity  as officers  of  entities  in  the  Consolidated  Entity,  and  any  other  payments  arising
from  liabilities incurred  by  the  officers in  connection  with  such  proceedings.  This does not  include  such  liabilities that
arise from conduct involving a willful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or
of  information  to  gain  advantage  for  themselves  or  someone  else  or  to  cause  detriment  to  the  Company.  It  is  not
possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to
other liabilities.

Directors  being  independent.  Each  Director  is  required  to  provide  to  the  Board  all  relevant  information  to
assist the Board in this regard.

The  Board  will  continue  to  monitor  developments  and  consider  any  guidelines  that  may  be  issued  with
respect to the maximum tenure of Directors in order to meet ‘independence’ guidelines.

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value (continued)

Recommendation 2.2:
The Chair should be an independent Director.

Disclosure:
The Chairman is not considered independent due to the size of the shareholding in his control.

Explanation for Departure:
The  Board  has  decided  to  continue  with  Mr  D  Smetana  as  Chairman  in  recognition  of  his  considerable
experience with the Company and  expertise that  compliments the  skills and  experience of  the other  Board
members. The Company deals with the lack of independence of  the Chairman by ensuring that conflicts of
interest are adequately disclosed and the Chairman abstains from voting on matters where they have, or it is
perceived they have, a beneficial interest in the outcome of the matters.

Recommendation 2.3:
The roles of the Chair and Managing Director should not be exercised by the same individual.

Disclosure:
The  Executive  Director  (Anthony  Mankarios)  has  taken  over  all  operational  and  corporate  supervision
responsibility.

Recommendation 2.4:
The Board should establish a Nomination Committee.

Disclosure:
The Company has not established a separate Nomination Committee.

Explanation for Departure:
The  Board  considers  the  present  Directors  are  able  to  discharge  the  responsibilities  of  a  Director,  having
regards to the law and the highest standards of governance. Should a vacancy exist, for whatever reason, or
where  considered  that  the  Board  would  benefit  from  the  services  of  a  new  Director,  the  Board  will  select
appropriate  candidates with  relevant  qualifications,  skills and  experience.  The  Board  has not  established  a
separate Nomination Committee as, due to the Company's size, the simplicity of its operations, the Board's
size  and  the  cost  effectiveness  of  the  Board's  current  operations,  the  Board  considers  such  a  separate
Nomination Committee is not warranted or commercially viable and its functions and responsibilities can be
adequately  and  efficiently  discharged  by  the  Board  as  a  whole.  The  Board  assesses  the  experience,
knowledge and expertise of potential Directors before any appointment is made.

Items that are usually required to be discussed by a Nomination Committee are marked as separate agenda
items at Board meetings when required. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that may occur when
convening in the capacity of Nomination Committee by ensuring the Director with conflicting interests is not
party to the relevant discussions.

Recommendation 2.5:
Companies  should  disclose  the  process  for  evaluating  the  performance  of  the  Board,  its  committees  and
individual Directors.

Disclosure:
The Company has adopted self-evaluation processes to measure Board performance. The  performance of
all Directors is assessed through analysis and review by, and discussion with, the Chair on issues relating to
individual  Directors'  attendance  at  and  involvement  in  Board  meetings,  interaction  with  management,
performance of allocated tasks and any other matters identified by the Chair or other Directors. Evaluation of
any Board committees is conducted on a similar basis. Due to the Board's assessment of the effectiveness
of  these  processes,  the  Board  has  not  formalised  qualitative  performance  indicators  to  measure  individual
Director’s performance.

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value (continued)

Recommendation 2.6:
Companies should provide the information indicated in the “Guide to reporting on Principle 2.”

Disclosure:

Skills, Experience, Expertise and Term of Office of each Director
The composition of the Board has been determined on the basis of providing the Company with the benefit of
a  broad  range  of  commercial,  administrative  and  financial  skills,  combined  with  an  appropriate  level  of
experience at  a  senior corporate level. The names and further information regarding the skills, experience,
qualifications, relevant expertise and term of office of  the Directors are set out in the most recent Directors’
Report.

Board Access to Information and Independent Advice
All  Directors  have  access  to  employees  and,  subject  to  the  law,  access  to  all  Company  records  and
information  held  by  employees  and  external  advisers.  The  Board  receives  regular  detailed  financial  and
operational reports from senior management to enable it to carry out its duties.

Consistent with ASX Principle 2, the Company allows each Director to seek individual external advice at the
expense of the Company.

Committees of the Board
The Board has established an Audit Committee and  a Remuneration Committee to assist  the Board in the
discharge of its responsibilities.

Further  information  about  the  Audit  Committee  is  provided  in  the  statement  under Principal  4:  Safeguard
Integrity in Financial Reporting.

Further  information  about  the  Remuneration  Committee  is  provided  in  the  statement  under Principal  8:
Remunerate Fairly and Responsibility.

Identification of Independent Directors
The  policy  on  Director  Independence  defines  an  independent  Director  as  a  non-executive  Director  (not  a
member of management) and free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or
could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the independent exercise of their judgment.

In determining the independent status of a Director the Board considers whether the Director:

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

is  a  substantial  shareholder  of  the  Company  or  an  officer  of,  or  otherwise  associated  directly  or
indirectly with, a substantial shareholder the Company;
is employed, or has previously been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another
group  member,  and  there  has  not  been  a  period  of  at  least  three  years  between  ceasing  such
employment and serving on the Board;
has  within  the  last  three  years  been  a  principal  of  a  material  professional  adviser  or  a  material
consultant to the Company, or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the
service provider;
is  a  material  supplier  or  customer  of  the  Company,  or  another  group  member,  or  an  officer  of  or
otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;
has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another group member, other than as a
Director of the Company.

Materiality for these purposes is determined on both a quantitative and qualitative bases. An amount of over
5% of annual turnover or 5% of the individual Director’s net assets is considered material for these purposes.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (CONTINUED)

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value (continued)

Nomination Matters
The full Board carries out the role of the Nomination Committee. The full Board did not officially convene as a
Nomination  Committee  during  the  Reporting  Period;  however  the  Board  discusses  nominated-related
matters  from  time  to  time  during  the  year  as  required.  The  explanation  for  departure  set  out  under
Recommendation 2.4 above explains how the functions of the Nomination Committee are performed.

Performance Evaluation
During  the  Reporting  Period  no  review  or  evaluation  of  the  performance  of  the  Board,  individual  Directors
and applicable Committees was undertaken in accordance  with the process disclosed at Recommendation
2.5.

Selection and (Re)/Appointment of Directors
The  Company  has  not  established  (and  therefore  has  not  made  publicly  available)  a  formal  Policy  and
Procedure for Selection and (Re)/Appointment of Directors.

In determining candidates for the Board, the Nomination Committee (or equivalent) considers the balance of
independent  Directors  on  the  Board  as  well  as the  skills and  qualifications of  potential  candidates that  will
best enhance the Board's effectiveness.

The  Board  recognizes  that  Board  renewal  is  critical  to  performance  and  the  impact  of  Board  tenure  on
succession  planning.  Under  the  Company's  constitution,  at  every  annual  general  meeting  one  third  of  the
Directors  (except  the  Managing  Director)  must  retire  from  office  and  are  eligible  for  re-election  at  that
meeting. The Directors to retire must be those who have been longest in office since their last election and,
in  any  event,  Directors  cannot  hold  office  for  more  than  three  years  without  submitting  themselves for  re-
election. Re-appointment of Directors is not automatic.

Principle 3: Promote Ethical and Responsible Decision Making

Recommendation 3.1:
Companies should establish a Code of  Conduct  and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to the
practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company's integrity,  the practices necessary to take into
account  their  legal  obligations  and  the  reasonable  expectations  of  their  stakeholders  and  the  responsibility
and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.

Disclosure:
The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct for Directors to promote ethical and responsible decision making
by Directors.  The Code is based on a code  of  conduct for Directors prepared by  the Australian Institute of
Company  Directors  and  embraces  the  values  of  honesty,  integrity,  enterprise,  excellence,  accountability,
justice, independence and equality of shareholder opportunity.

The principles of the Code are:

steps to be satisfied as to the soundness of all decisions taken by the Board.
Confidential  information  received  by  a  Director  in  the  course  of  the  exercise  of  directional  duties
remains  the  property  of  the  Company  and  it  is  improper  to  disclose  it,  or  allow  it  to  be  disclosed,
unless  that  disclosure  has  been  authorised  by  the  Company,  or  the  person  from  whom  the
information is provided, or is required by law.
A Director should not engage in conduct likely to bring discredit upon the Company.

The opening reserves at 1 July 2011 have been adjusted for an allocation error in 2006 by increasing
revaluation reserve by $2.62 M and reducing retained earnings by the same amount. There is no change
to the total shareholder funds.

A prior year error adjustment has been made to equity of $0.39 M resulting from prior period errors . This
is consistent with a prior period error adjustment in the December 2012 half year.

The consolidated statement of changes in equity is to be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated
financial statements set out on pages 39 to 86.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  CORPORATE INFORMATION

The consolidated financial  statements  of  Joyce Corporation  Ltd  (“the Company”)  for  the  year  ended  30
June  2013  were  authorised  for  issue  in  accordance  with  a  resolution  of  the  directors  of  the  Company
dated 24 September 2013. Joyce Corporation Ltd is a Company incorporated in Australia and limited by
shares which are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The  nature  of  the  operation  and  principal  activities  of  the  Company  and  its  controlled  entities  are
described in note 6.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Joyce Corporation Ltd and its
controlled subsidiaries (‘the Consolidated Entity’).

(a)

Basis of preparation

This  general  purpose  financial  report  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting
Standards,  other authoritative pronouncements  of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (including
Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001.

Joyce Corporation Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the Financial Statements.

Compliance with IFRS
Australian  Accounting  Standards  include  Australian  equivalents  to  International  Financial  Reporting
Standards (“AIFRS”). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report of the Consolidated Entity
complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

New and amended standards adopted by the group
None of  the new  standards and amendments to standards that  are  mandatory for the first time for the
financial year beginning 1 July 2012 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any
prior  period  and  are  not  likely  to  affect  future  periods.  However,  amendments  made  to  AASB  101
Presentation of Financial Statements effective 1 July 2012 now require the statement of comprehensive
income  to  show  the  items  of  comprehensive  income  grouped  into  those  that  are  not  permitted  to  be
reclassified  to  profit  or  loss  in  a  future  period  and  those  that  may  have  to  be  reclassified  if  certain
conditions are met.

Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting estimates
The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  AIFRS  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical
accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the
Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies. Areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or
areas where assumptions  and estimates  are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note
5.

(b)

Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries  are  all  those  entities  (including  special  purpose  entities)  over  which  the  Company  has  the
power  to  govern  the  financial  and  operating  policies,  generally  accompanying  a  shareholding  of  more
than  one-half  of  the  voting  rights.  The  existence  and  effect  of  potential  voting  rights  that  are  currently
exercisable  or  convertible  are  considered  when  assessing  whether  the  Consolidated  Entity  controls
another entity.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 27 to the financial statements.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2013 Annual Report I PAGE 39

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(b)

Principles of consolidation (continued)

The  consolidation  accounting  method  used  for  the  consolidated  financial  statements  that  include  the
financial  statements  made  up  to  the  reporting  date  each  year  of  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  is
disclosed  under  the note  on  'Business  Combinations'  below.   Consolidated financial  statements  are the
financial  statements  of  the  Consolidated  Entity  presented  as  those  of  a  single  economic  entity.    The
consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and
other events in similar circumstances.

All  significant  intra-Consolidated  Entity  balances  and  transactions,  including  income,  expenses  and
dividends,  are  eliminated  in  full  on  consolidation.    The  results  of  the  investees  acquired  or  disposed  of
during the financial year are accounted for from the respective dates  of  acquisition  or up to the dates  of
disposal.  On disposal, the attributable amount of  goodwill, if any, is included in the determination  of the
gain or loss on disposal.

Minority  interests,  being  that  portion  of  the  profit  or  loss  and  net  assets  of  subsidiaries  attributable  to
equity interests held by persons outside the group, are shown separately within the Equity section of the
consolidated  Statement  of  Financial  Position  and  in  the  consolidated  Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and
Other Comprehensive Income.

Business combinations

(c)
Acquisitions  of  subsidiaries  and  businesses  are  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method.  The
consideration  for  each  acquisition  is  measured  at  the  aggregate  of  the  fair  values  (at  the  date  of
exchange)  of  assets  given,  liabilities  incurred  or  assumed,  and  equity  instruments  issued  by  the
Consolidated  Entity  in  exchange  for  control  of  the  acquiree.  Acquisition-related  costs  are  recognised  in
profit or loss as incurred.

Where  applicable,  the  consideration  for  the  acquisition  includes  any  asset  or  liability  resulting  from  a
contingent  consideration  arrangement,  measured  at  its  acquisition-date  fair  value.  Subsequent  changes
in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period
adjustments  (see  below).  All  other  subsequent  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  contingent  consideration
classified  as  an  asset  or  liability  are  accounted  for  in  accordance  with  relevant  accounting  standards.
Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as equity are not recognised.

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Consolidated Entity’s previously held interests
in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Consolidated
Entity attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising
from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously  been recognised in other
comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such a treatment would be appropriate if
that interest were disposed of.

The  acquiree’s  identifiable  assets,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  that  meet  the  conditions  for
recognition under AASB 3 (2008) are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:

(cid:120)  deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements
are  recognised  and  measured  in  accordance  with  AASB  112 Income  Taxes  and  AASB  119
Employee Benefits respectively;
liabilities  or  equity  instruments  related  to  the  replacement  by  the  Consolidated  Entity  of  an
acquiree’ share-based payment awards  are measured in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based
Payment; and

(cid:120) 

(cid:120)  assets (or disposal  groups) that are classified as held for sale in  accordance with AASB 5 Non-
current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that
standard.

If  the  initial  accounting  for  a  business  combination  is  incomplete  by  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  in
which the combination occurs, the Consolidated Entity reports provisional amounts for the terms for which
the  accounting  is  incomplete.  Those  provisional  amounts  are  adjusted  during  the  measurement  period
(see  below),  or  additional  assets  or  liabilities  are  recognised,  to  reflect  new  information  obtained  about
facts and circumstances that existed as of that date.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2013 Annual Report I PAGE 40

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c)

Business combinations (continued)

The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete
information  about  facts  and  circumstances  that  existed  as  of  the  acquisition  date  –  and  is  subject  to  a
maximum of one year.

(d)

Segment reporting

Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Consolidated
Entity that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision makers in order to allocate resources to
the segments and to assess their performance.

Foreign currency translation

(e)
Functional and presentation currency
Items  included  in  the  financial  statements  of  each  of  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  entities  are  measured
using  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic  environment  in  which  the  entity  operates  (‘the  functional
currency’).  The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  Dollars,  which  is  the
Consolidated Entity’s presentation currency.

Transactions and balances
Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  the  functional  currency  using  the  exchange  rates
prevailing  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the
settlement of such transactions and from the translation, at year end exchange rates, of monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive  income,  except  when  they  are  deferred  in  equity  as  qualifying  cash  flow  hedges  and
qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

Translation  differences  on  non-monetary  financial  assets  and  liabilities  are  reported  as  part  of  the  fair
value  gain  or  loss.  Translation  differences  on  non-monetary  financial  assets  and  liabilities  such  as
equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain
or loss. Translation  differences  on non-monetary financial assets such  as equities classified as  available
for sale financial assets are included in the fair value reserve in equity.

All companies of the Consolidated Entity have Australian Dollars as a functional currency.

Revenue recognition

(f)
Revenue  is  recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  the  economic  benefits  will  flow  to  the
Consolidated Entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria
must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of  goods is  recognised at  the point of  delivery  as  this corresponds to the transfer
of significant risks  and rewards  of  ownership of the goods  and the cessation  of  all involvement in those
goods.

Rendering of services
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon completion of the service to customers.

Interest income
Interest  income  is  recognised  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method,  which,  for  floating  rate  financial
assets is the rate inherent in the instrument.

Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

Franchise revenue
Revenue from franchising activities is recognised based on business written sales from franchised stores.

Rental revenue
Rental revenue is recognised monthly as defined in the relevant lease agreements.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2013 Annual Report I PAGE 41

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Income tax

(g)
The  income  tax  expense  or  revenue  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  the  current  period’s  taxable
income  based  on the national  income tax  rate for  each  jurisdiction  adjusted  by  changes  in  deferred tax
assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Deferred  income  tax  is  provided  in  full,  using  the  liability  method,  on  temporary  differences  arising
between  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts  in  the  consolidated  financial
statements.  However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an
asset  or  liability  in  a  transaction  other  than  a  business  combination  that  at  the  time  of  the  transaction
affects neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss.  Deferred income tax is  determined using tax rates
(and  laws)  that  have  been  enacted  or  substantially  enacted  by  the  reporting  date  and  are  expected  to
apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred  tax  liabilities  and  assets  are  not  recognised  for  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying
amount and tax bases  of investments in controlled entities  where the parent  entity is  able to control the
timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in
the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets  and liabilities  are  offset when there is  a legally  enforceable right to offset current tax
assets and liabilities and  when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation  authority.  Current
tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends
either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current  and  deferred  tax  balances  attributable  to  amounts  recognised  directly  in  equity  are  also
recognised directly in equity.

Tax Consolidation

Joyce  Corporation  Ltd  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  subsidiaries  have  formed  an  income  tax
consolidated  group  under  tax  consolidation  legislation.    Each  entity  in  the  group  recognises  its  own
current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’
approach  to  allocation.    Current  tax  liabilities  (assets)  and  deferred  tax  assets  arising  from  unused  tax
losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity.

The group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply
from  1  July  2003.  The  tax  consolidated  group  has  entered  a  tax  funding  arrangement  whereby  each
company  in  the  group  contributes  to  the  income  tax  payable  by  the  group  in  proportion  to  their
contribution  to  the  group’s  taxable  income.  Differences  between  the  amounts  of  net  tax  assets  and
liabilities  derecognised  and  the  net  amounts  recognised  pursuant  to  the  funding  arrangement  are
recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity.

Hire purchases and leases

(h)
Hire  purchases  and  leases  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  where  the  Consolidated  Entity,  as  lessee,
has  substantially  all  the risks  and rewards  of  ownership  are classified  as finance leases. Finance leases
are  capitalised  at  the  lease’s  inception  at  the  fair  value  of  the  leased  property  or,  if  lower,  the  present
value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are
included  in  other  short  term  and  long  term  payables.    Each  lease  payment  is  allocated  between  the
liability  and  finance  cost.  The  finance  cost  is  charged  to  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other
comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the
remaining  balance  of  the  liability  for  each  period.  The  property,  plant  and  equipment  acquired  under
finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.

Leases  in  which  a  significant  portion  of  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are  not  transferred  to  the
Consolidated Entity as lessee are classified as operating leases.  Payments made under operating leases
(net of  any incentives  received from the lessor) are charged  to the statement of profit or loss  and other
comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Lease income from operating leases  where the Consolidated Entity is a lessor is  recognised as  income
on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Impairment of non-financial assets

(i)
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are
tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they
might  be  impaired.    Other  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in
circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be  recoverable.    An  impairment  loss  is
recognised  for  the  amount  by  which  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.  The
recoverable  amount  is  the  higher  of  an  asset’s  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and  value  in  use.  For  the
purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of
assets  (cash  generating  units).    Non-financial  assets  other  than  goodwill  that  suffered  impairment  are
reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

Cash and cash equivalents

(j)
Cash  and cash  equivalents includes cash  on hand, deposits held at call  with financial institutions, other
short  term,  highly  liquid  investments  with  original  maturities  of  three  months  or  less  that  are  readily
convertible to known  amounts  of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value,
and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of
financial position.

Trade receivables

(k)
Trade  receivables  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost
using the effective interest  method, less a provision for impairment. Trade receivables  are generally  due
for settlement within 30 days.

Collectability  of  trade  receivables  is  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.    Debts  which  are  known  to  be
uncollectible are written off.  A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is
objective evidence that the Consolidated Entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the
original terms of the receivables.  Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor
will  enter  bankruptcy  or financial  reorganisation,  and  default  or  delinquency  in  payments  (more  than  30
days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2013 Annual Report I PAGE 43

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Trade receivables (Continued)

(k)
The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value
of  estimated  future  cash  flows,  discounted  at  the  original  effective  interest  rate.    Cash  flows  relating  to
short  term  receivables  are  not  discounted  if  the  effect  of  discounting  is  immaterial.    The  amount  of  the
provision  is  recognised  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  in  other
expenses.

Inventories

(l)
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises expenditure incurred
in acquiring the inventories and in bringing them to their existing condition and location.

Costs  are  assigned  to  individual  items  of  inventory  on  a  basis  of  weighted  average  costs.  Costs  of
purchased  inventory  are  determined  after  deducting  rebates  and  discounts.  Net  realisable  value  is  the
estimated selling price in  the ordinary course of  business less the estimated costs  of completion  and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Fair value estimation

(m)
The  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  must  be  estimated  for  recognition  and
measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The  carrying  value  less  impairment  provision  of  trade  receivables  and  payables  are  assumed  to
approximate  their  fair  values  due  to  their  short  term  nature.  The  fair  value  of  financial  liabilities  for
disclosure  purposes  is  estimated  by  discounting  the  future contractual  cash  flows  at the  current  market
interest rate that is available to the Consolidated Entity for similar financial instruments.

(n)

Investments and other financial assets

Classification
The Consolidated Entity  classifies  its  financial  assets  in  the following  categories:  financial  assets  at fair
value  through  profit  or  loss,  loans  and  receivables,  held-to-maturity  investments  and  available-for-sale
financial assets.

The  classification  depends  on  the  purpose  for  which  the  investments  were  acquired.  Management
determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as
held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is
classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are
classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified
as current assets.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans  and  receivables  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  with fixed  or  determinable  payments  that  are
not  quoted  in  an  active  market.  They  are  included  in  current  assets,  except  for  those  with  maturities
greater  than  12  months  after  the  reporting  date  which  are  classified  as  non-current  assets.  Loans  and
receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position.

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and
fixed maturities that the Consolidated Entity’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to
maturity.  If  the  Consolidated  Entity  were  to  sell  other  than  an  insignificant  amount  of  held-to-maturity
financial  assets,  the  whole  category  would  be  tainted  and  reclassified  as  available-for-sale.  Held-to-
maturity financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those with maturities less than 12
months from the reporting date, which are classified as current assets.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2013 Annual Report I PAGE 44

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(n)

Investments and other financial assets (Continued)

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives
that  are  either  designated  in  this  category  or  not  classified  in  any  of  the  other  categories.  They  are
included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months
of the reporting date. Investments are designated as available-for-sale if they do not have fixed maturities
and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term.

Recognition and derecognition
Regular  purchases  and  sales  of  financial  assets  are  recognised  on  trade-date  -  the  date  on  which  the
Consolidated  Entity  commits  to  purchase  or  sell  the  asset.  Investments  are  initially  recognised  at  fair
value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial
assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs
are  expensed  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income.  Financial  assets  are
derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been
transferred  and  the  Consolidated  Entity  has  transferred  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of
ownership.

When  securities  classified  as  available-for-sale  are  sold,  the  accumulated  fair  value  adjustments
recognised in  equity  are included in  the statement  of  profit or loss  and  other comprehensive income as
gains and losses from investment securities.

Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.

Available-for-sale  financial  assets  and  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  and  loss  are
subsequently carried at fair value. Gains  or losses  arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial
assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss'  category  are  presented  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and
other  comprehensive  income  within  other  income  or  other  expenses  in  the  period  in  which  they  arise.
Dividend income from financial  assets  at fair value through  profit and loss is  recognised in the statement
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as part of revenue from continuing operations when the
Consolidated Entity’s right to receive payments is established.

Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  monetary  securities  denominated  in  a  foreign  currency  and  classified  as
available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences  resulting from changes in amortised cost
of  the  security  and  other  changes  in  the  carrying  amount  of  the  security.  The  translation  differences
related  to  changes  in  the  amortised  cost  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss,  and  other  changes  in  carrying
amount  are  recognised  in  equity.  Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  other  monetary  and  non-monetary
securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity.

Impairment
The  Consolidated  Entity  assesses  at  each  reporting  date  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  a
financial  asset  or  a  group  of  financial  assets  is  impaired.  In  the  case  of  equity  securities  classified  as
available-for-sale,  a  significant  or  prolonged  decline  in  the  fair  value  of  a  security  below  its  cost  is
considered  as  an indicator that the securities  are impaired. If any such  evidence exists for available-for-
sale financial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and
the current  fair value, less  any  impairment loss  on  that financial  asset  previously  recognised in  profit  or
loss - is removed from equity and recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income. Impairment losses recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
on  equity  instruments  classified as  available-for-sale  are not  reversed through  the statement  of  profit  or
loss and other comprehensive income.

Financial Guarantees
Where  material,  financial  guarantees  issued,  which    requires  the  issuer  to  make  specified  payments  to
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due, are
recognised as a financial liability at fair value on initial recognition.

The  guarantee  is  subsequently  measured  at  the  higher  of  the  best  estimate  of  the  obligation  and  the
amount  initially  recognised  less,  when  appropriate,  cumulative  amortisation  in  accordance  with  AASB
118: Revenue.   Where the  entity  gives  guarantees  in  exchange  for  a fee,  revenue  is  recognised  under
AASB 118.

The  fair  value  of  financial  guarantee  contracts  has  been  assessed  using  a  probability  weighted
discounted cash flow approach. The probability has been based on:

– 
– 

– 

the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a year period;
the  proportion  of  the  exposure  that  is  not  expected  to  be  recovered  due  to  the  guaranteed  party
defaulting; and
the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default.

(o)

 Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current  assets  (or  disposal  groups)  are  classified  as  held  for  sale  if  their  carrying  amount  will  be
recovered  principally  through  a  sale  transaction  rather  than  through  continuing  use  and  a  sale  is
considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less
costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee
benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights
under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group)
to fair value less costs to sell. A  gain is  recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs
to  sell  of  an  asset  (or  disposal  group),  but  not  in  excess  of  any  cumulative  impairment  loss  previously
recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-
current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.

Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised
while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a
disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for
sale are presented separately from the other assets in the Statement of Financial Position. The liabilities
of  a  disposal  group  classified  as  held  for  sale  are  presented  separately  from  other  liabilities  in  the
Statement of Financial Position.

 A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held
for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is
part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a
subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are
presented separately in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Derivatives and hedging activities

(p)
Derivatives  are initially  recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is  entered into and are
subsequently  remeasured  to  their  fair  value  at  each  reporting  date.  The  accounting  for  subsequent
changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so,
the nature of the item being hedged. The Consolidated Entity designates certain derivatives as either:

(cid:120)  hedges  of  the  fair  value  of  recognised  assets  or  liabilities  or  a  firm  commitment  (fair  value

hedges),

(cid:120)  hedges  of  the  cash  flows  of  recognised  assets  and  liabilities  and  highly  probable  forecast

transactions (cash flow hedges), or

(cid:120)  hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (net investment hedges).

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2013 Annual Report I PAGE 46

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(p)

Derivatives and hedging activities (continued)

The Consolidated Entity documents at the inception of  the hedging transaction the relationship between
hedging  instruments  and  hedged  items,  as  well  as  its  risk  management  objective  and  strategy  for
undertaking various hedge transactions. The Consolidated Entity also documents its assessment, both at
hedge  inception  and  on  an  ongoing  basis,  of  whether  the  derivatives  that  are  used  in  hedging
transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash
flows of hedged items.

Property, plant and equipment

(q)
Land and buildings are shown at fair value, based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external
independent  valuers,  less  subsequent  depreciation  for  buildings.    Any  accumulated  depreciation  at  the
date  of  revaluation  is  eliminated  against  the  gross  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  and  the  net  amount  is
restated  to  the  revalued  amount  of  the  asset.    All  other  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at
historical  cost  less  depreciation.  Historical  cost  includes  expenditure  that  is  directly  attributable  to  the
acquisition of the items.

Subsequent  costs  are  included  in  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  or  recognised  as  a  separate  asset,  as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the
Consolidated  Entity  and  the  cost  of  the  item  can  be  measured  reliably.  The  carrying  amount  of  the
replaced part is derecognised.  All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

(cid:120)  Plant and equipment - 1 to 20 years;
(cid:120)  Leased plant and equipment - over 5 to 6 years; and
(cid:120)  Leasehold improvements – 3 to 20 years.

The assets’ residual values  and useful lives are reviewed,  and adjusted if  appropriate, at each  reporting
date.  An  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset’s
carrying  amount  is  greater  than  its  estimated  recoverable  amount.  Gains  and  losses  on  disposals  are
determined  by  comparing  proceeds  with  the  carrying  amount.    These  are  included  in  the  statement  of
profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income.    When  revalued  assets  are  sold, it  is  the Consolidated
Entity’s  policy  to  transfer  the  amounts  included  in  other  reserves  in  respect  of  those  assets  to  retained
earnings.

Investment property

(r)
Investment  property,  which  is  property  held  to  earn  rentals  and/or  for  capital  appreciation  (including
property  under  construction  for  such  purposes),  is  measured  initially  at  its  cost,  including  transaction
costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is  measured at fair value. Gains  and losses
arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss in the period in
which they arise.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2013 Annual Report I PAGE 47

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(s)

Intangible assets

Acquired both separately and from a business combination
Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalised at cost. Following initial recognition, the cost model
is applied to the class of intangible assets. Where amortisation is charged on assets with finite lives, this
expense  is  taken  to  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  through  the
‘amortisation expenses’ line item.

Intangible  assets,  excluding  development  costs,  created  within  the  business  are  not  capitalised  and
expenditure is charged against profits in the period in which the expenditure is incurred intangible assets
are  tested  for  impairment  where  an  indicator  of  impairment  exists  and  in  the  case  of  indefinite  lived
intangibles annually, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Useful lives are also examined
on an annual basis and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis.

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill  represents  the  excess  of  the  cost  of  an  acquisition  over  the  fair  value  of  the  Consolidated
Entity’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill  on  acquisitions  of  subsidiaries  is  included  in  intangible  assets.  Goodwill  on  acquisitions  of
associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested
for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be
impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of
an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. Each of those cash-
generating  units  represents  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  investment  in  each  country  of  operation  by  each
operating segment. Cash-generating units to which goodwill is allocated is as follows:

(cid:120)  Bedshed Franchising cash generating unit
(cid:120)  Bedshed Stores cash generating unit

(ii) IT development and software

Costs incurred in developing products or systems and costs incurred in acquiring software  and licenses
that will contribute to future period financial benefits through revenue generation and/or cost reduction are
capitalised  to  software  and  systems.  Costs  capitalised  include  external  direct  costs  of  materials  and
service,  direct  payroll  and  payroll  related  costs  of  employees’  time  spent  on  the  project.  Amortisation  is
calculated on a straight-line basis over periods generally ranging from 3 to 5 years. IT development costs
include only those costs directly attributable to the development phase and are only recognised following
completion  of  technical  feasibility  and  where  the Consolidated Entity  has  an  intention  and  ability  to use
the asset.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2013 Annual Report I PAGE 48

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Trade and other payables

(t)
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the
reporting  date  which  are  unpaid.    The  amounts  are  unsecured  and  are  usually  paid  within  45  days  of
recognition.

Provisions

(u)
Provisions  for  legal  claims,  service  warranties  and  make  good  obligations  are  recognised  when  the
Consolidated Entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable
that  an  outflow  of  resources  will  be  required  to  settle  the  obligation  and  the  amount  has  been  reliably
estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where  there  are  a  number  of  similar  obligations,  the  likelihood  that  an  outflow  will  be  required  in
settlement  is  determined  by  considering  the  class  of  obligations  as  a  whole.    A  provision  is  recognised
even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations
may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of Management’s best estimate of the expenditure required
to  settle  the  present  obligation  at  the  reporting  date.    The  discount  rate  used  to  determine  the  present
value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

Employee benefits

(v)
(i) Wages and salaries and annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  and  annual  leave  expected  to  be
settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in  other payables in respect of employees'
services  up  to  the  reporting  date  and  are  measured  at  the  amounts  expected  to  be  paid  when  the
liabilities are settled.

(ii) Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as
the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees
up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future
wage  and  salary  levels,  experience  of  employee  departures  and  periods  of  service.  Expected  future
payments  are  discounted  using  market  yields  at  the  reporting  date  on  national  government  bonds  with
terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(iii) Profit-sharing and bonus plans

The Consolidated Entity recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a
formula  that  takes  into  consideration  the  profit  attributable  to  the  Company’s  shareholders  after  certain
adjustments. The Consolidated Entity recognises a provision where contractually  obliged or where there
is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

(iv) Termination benefits

Termination  benefits  are payable  when  employment is  terminated  before  the normal retirement  date,  or
when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Consolidated Entity
recognises termination benefits when it is  demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment
of  current  employees  according  to  a  detailed  formal  plan  without  possibility  of  withdrawal  or  providing
termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due
more than 12 months after reporting date are discounted to present value.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2013 Annual Report I PAGE 49

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Borrowings

(w)
Borrowings  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value,  net  of  transaction  costs  incurred.  Borrowings  are
subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost.  Any  difference  between  the  proceeds  (net  of  transaction
costs)  and  the  redemption  amount  is  recognised  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other
comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees  paid
on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual draw-down
of the facility, are recognised as  prepayments and amortised on  a straight-line basis over the term of the
facility. Bank loans are carried at amortised cost. Transaction costs are deducted against the outstanding
principal amount at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Convertible notes

(x)
Convertible  notes  are  compound  financial  instruments  with  separate  liability  and  equity  components
identified  on  initial  recognition.   Transaction  costs  are  deducted  against  the liability  component  of  these
financial instruments at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Contributed equity

(y)
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issue  of  new  shares  or  options  are  shown  in  equity  as  a
deduction,  net  of  tax,  from  the  proceeds.    Incremental  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issue  of  new
shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of
the purchase consideration.

If  the  entity  reacquires  its  own  equity  instruments,  e.g.  as  the  result  of  a  share  buy-back,  those
instruments  are  deducted  from  equity  and  the  associated  shares  are  cancelled.    No  gain  or  loss  is
recognised in the profit  or loss  and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental
costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

Dividends

(z)
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer
at  the  discretion  of  the  entity,  on  or  before  the  end  of  the  financial  year  but  not  distributed  at  reporting
date.

(aa) 
Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company,
excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than  ordinary  shares,  by  the  weighted  average  number  of
ordinary  shares  outstanding  during  the  financial  year,  adjusted  for  bonus  elements  in  ordinary  shares
issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted  earnings  per share  adjusts  the figures  used  in  the  determination  of  basic  earnings  per  share  to
take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs  associated with  dilutive
potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have
been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(bb)  Comparatives
When required by  applicable accounting standards, comparative figures  have been adjusted to conform
to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Rounding of Amounts

(cc) 
The  Company  has  applied  the  relief  available  to  it  under  ASIC  Class  Order  98/100  and  accordingly,
amounts in the financial report and directors' report have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2013 Annual Report I PAGE 50

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(dd)  Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  associated  GST,  unless  the  GST
incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority.  In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of
acquisition of the asset or  as  part of the expense. Receivables  and payables  are stated inclusive of the
amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.    The  net  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the
taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

(ee) 

New accounting standards and interpretations

At  the  date  of  authorisation  of  these  financial  statements,  certain  new  standards,  amendments  and
interpretations  to  existing  standards  have  been  published  but  are  not  yet  effective,  and  have  not  been
adopted early by the Company.

Management  anticipates  that  all  of  the  relevant  pronouncements  will  be  adopted  in  the  Company’s
accounting  policies  for  the  first  period  beginning  after  the  effective  date  of  the  pronouncement.
Information  on  new standards,  amendments  and interpretations  that  are  expected  to  be  relevant  to  the
Company’s financial statements is provided below.  Certain other new standards and interpretations have
been issued but are not expect to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2015)
The AASB aims to replace AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety.
The  replacement  standard  (AASB  9)  is  being  issued  in  phases.    To  date,  the  chapters  dealing  with
recognition,  classification,  measurement  and  derecognition  of  financial  assets  and  liabilities  have  been
issued.    These  chapters  are  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  1  January  2013.    Further  chapters
dealing  with  impairment  methodology  and  hedge  accounting  are  still  being  developed.    Management
have  yet  to  assess  the  impact  that  this  amendment  is  likely  to  have  on  the  financial  statements  of  the
Company.  However, they do not expect to implement the amendments until all chapters of AASB 9 have
been published and they can comprehensively assess the impact of all changes.

Consolidation Standards
A package of consolidation standards encompassing AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB
11 Joint  Venture  Arrangements,  AASB  12 Disclosure  of  Interest  in  Other  Entities  and  consequential
amendments to AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and
Joint  Ventures,  are  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning,  or  after,  1  January  2013.    The  Group’s
management  have  yet  to  assess  the  impact  of  these  new  and  revised  standards  on  the  Group’s
consolidated financial statements.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement
AASB 13 is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.  The standard clarifies the
definition  of  fair  value  and  provides  related  guidance  and  enhanced  disclosures  about  fair  value
measurements.  The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of this new standard.

AASB 119 (reissued September 2011) Employee Benefits
AASB  119  is  applicable  to  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after 1  January  2013. Main  changes  include
elimination  of  the  ‘corridor’  approach  for  deferring  gains/losses  for  defined  benefit  plans,  actuarial
gains/losses on remeasuring the defined benefit plan obligation/asset to be recognised in OCI rather than
in  profit  or  loss,  and  cannot  be  reclassified  in  subsequent  periods,  subtle  amendments  to  timing  for
recognition  of  liabilities  for  termination  benefits,  and  employee  benefits  expected  to  be  settled  (as
opposed to due to settled under current standard) within 12 months after the end of the reporting period
are short-term benefits, and therefore not discounted when calculating leave liabilities. Annual leave not
expected  to  be  used  within  12  months  of  end  of  reporting  period  will  in  future  be  discounted  when
calculating leave liability.  This standard has no impact as  there  are no annual  leave provision  amounts
that are non-current.  The group will apply this from 1 July 2013.

3.  GOING CONCERN

At  30  June  2013,  the  Consolidated  Entity  has  recorded  a  profit  before  tax  of  $2,251k  for  continuing
operations and $2,366k  after tax  before including discontinued operations and reported an  overall  profit
after tax of $668k with positive operating cash flows totalling $1,410k before store closure costs.

There were no breaches of bank lending covenants (refer Note 21) at reporting date and no breaches up
to the date of this report.

4.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Consolidated Entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency
risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Consolidated Entity's overall risk management
program  focuses  on  the  unpredictability  of  financial  markets  and  seeks  to  minimise  potential  adverse
effects on the financial performance of the Consolidated Entity.

The  Consolidated  Entity  makes  occasional  use  of  derivative  financial  instruments  such  as  foreign
exchange  contracts  to  manage  foreign  currency  risk.  Derivatives  are  exclusively  used  for  hedging
purposes,  i.e.  not  as  trading  or  other  speculative  instruments.  The  Consolidated  Entity  uses  different
methods  to  measure  different  types  of  risk  to  which  it  is  exposed.  These  methods  include  sensitivity
analysis in the case of interest  rate, foreign exchange and other price risks and aging analysis for credit
risk.

Risk management is carried out by the CFO under the supervision  of the Board of Directors. The Board
provides  principles  for  overall  risk  management,  as  well  as  policies  and  supervision  covering  specific
areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments
and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

The Consolidated Entity holds the following financial instruments:

Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Other financial assets

Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

4.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Consolidated Entity  makes  purchases  some  of  which  are  exposed  to foreign  exchange  risk  arising
from  various  currency  exposures,  primarily  with  respect  to  the  US  dollar,  in  the  ordinary  course  of
business. Foreign exchange risk  arises from future commercial transactions  and recognised assets and
liabilities  denominated in a currency that is not  the Consolidated Entity’s functional currency. The risk is
measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

Management has a standard policy for dealing with foreign currency risk in the purchasing function of the
Consolidated Entity in order to manage foreign exchange risk against the Consolidated Entity’s functional
currency. Material purchase contracts which are denominated in foreign currency are regularly reviewed
by  management  and  when  it  is  considered  necessary  the currency  risk  exposure  may  be  managed  via
the use of foreign currency contracts. The current policy is to forward buy USD contracts equivalent to fifty
percent of six months forward US dollar denominated orders.

The Consolidated Entity’s had exposure to foreign currency risk with respect to the US Dollar at the at 30
June 2013 of US$614k.

(ii) Cash flow interest rate risks

The Consolidated Entity's  main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at
variable  rates  expose  the  Consolidated  Entity  to  cash  flow  interest  rate  risk.  The  Consolidated  Entity
policy  is  to  manage  both  risks  as  appropriate  in  conjunction  with  considerations  about  minimising  the
Consolidated Entity’s liquidity risk (see below), the current state of the yield curve and expectations about
interest rates in the medium term and the need for flexibility so as to minimise the Consolidated Entity’s
interest expense.

(ii) Cash flow interest rate risk (continued)
As at the reporting date, all of the Consolidated Entity had the following variable and fixed rate financial
instruments:

(i)  The overdraft facility pays interest at variable interest rates plus a line fee and is renewed annually.
(ii)  The Commercial bill facility debt attracts interest at a fixed annual interest rate to 31 March 2013 and
the facility has a term which is approved to 30 July 2015. The facility has a secured deposit of $1.7
million netted off which accrues and interest income at 3.25% fixed until 17 July 2013.This facility is
bank bill based and incurs a line fee on use.

An analysis by maturities is provided in (c) below.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2013 Annual Report I PAGE 53

4.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(a) Market risk (continued)
The Consolidated Entity  analyses  its  interest  rate  exposure  on  a dynamic  basis.  Various  scenarios  are
modelled  taking  into  consideration  refinancing,  renewal  of  existing  positions,  alternative  financing  and
hedging. Based on  these scenarios, the Consolidated Entity calculates  the impact on  profit and loss  of a
defined  interest  rate  shift.  The  scenarios  are  run  only  for  liabilities  that  represent  the  major  interest-
bearing positions.

Based on the various scenarios, the Consolidated Entity manages its cash flow interest rate risk adopting
an  appropriate  mix  of  fixed  versus  variable  rate  debt  and  also  an  appropriate  mix  of  debt  maturities  to
provide  it  with  flexibility  to  repay  debt  as  quickly  as  possible  whilst  having  liquidity  available  to  take
advantage of business opportunities as they arise.

Consolidated Entity sensitivity

The major debt facility drawn at 30 June 2013 is a fixed interest rate (see above). Variable interest rates
apply to the overdraft and cash and cash equivalents. On balances at 30 June 2013, if interest rates had
changed by  -/+ 100  basis  points from the year-end rates  with all  other variables held constant,  post-tax
profit for the year would have been  $15k/$15k higher/lower (2012 - Nil higher/lower), mainly as a result of
a higher/lower interest expense arising from borrowings offset by lower/higher interest income from cash
and  cash  equivalents. Equity  would  have  been $15k/$15k  higher/lower  (2012  -  Nil  higher/lower)  for  the
same reasons as above.

(b)

Credit risk

Credit risk is limited to high credit quality financial institutions with which deposits are held and high credit
quality wholesale customers with which the Consolidated Entity trades.

Credit risk is managed on a Consolidated Entity basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents,
derivative  financial  instruments  and  deposits  with  banks  and  financial  institutions,  as  well  as  credit
exposures  to  wholesale  customers,  including  outstanding  receivables  and  committed  transactions.  For
banks  and  financial  institutions,  only  independently  rated  parties  with  a  minimum  rating  of  'A'  are
accepted. If  wholesale customers  are independently  rated, these ratings  are used. Otherwise, if there is
no  independent  rating,  risk  control  assesses  the  credit  quality  of  the  customer,  taking  into  account  its
financial  position,  past  experience  and  other  factors.  Individual  risk  limits  are  set  based  on  internal  or
external  ratings  in  accordance  with  limits  set  internally.  The  compliance  with  credit  limits  by  wholesale
customers is regularly monitored by line management.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets
as summarised in each applicable note. For wholesale customers  without credit rating the Consolidated
Entity generally retains title over the goods sold until full payment is received. For some trade receivables
the Consolidated Entity may also obtain security in the form of guarantees, deeds of undertaking or letters
of credit which can be called upon if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement. The
Consolidated  Entity  does  not hold  any credit  derivatives  to  offset  its  credit  exposure.  The  Consolidated
Entity trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties, and as such collateral is not requested nor is
it the Consolidated Entity's policy to securitise its trade and other receivables.

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference
to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates:

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the
availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close
out  market  positions. The Consolidated Entity  manages  liquidity  risk  by  continuously  monitoring forecast
and  actual  cash  flows  and  matching  the  maturity  profiles  of  financial  assets  and  liabilities.  Due  to  the
dynamic  nature  of  the  underlying  businesses,  the  Consolidated  Entity  aims  at  maintaining  flexibility  in
funding by keeping committed credit lines available and, where possible, with a variety of counterparties.
Surplus funds are generally only invested in overnight deposits or used to repay debt.

Maturities of financial assets and financial liabilities

The  tables  below  analyse  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  financial  liabilities,  net  and  gross  settled  derivative
financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date
to  the  contractual  maturity  date.  The  amounts  disclosed  in  the  table  are  the  contractual  undiscounted
cash flows.

The Consolidated Entity had $622,000 of available overdraft facilities to manage its liquidity as at 30 June
2013  (2012: $640,000)  represented  by  an  $8,000,000  fixed facility  and  an  overdraft facility  of  $642,000
offset by a secured deposit of $1,700,000. The consolidated entity had $766,077 cash at bank as at the
reporting date excluding funds held in trust set out at note 11. In addition the Consolidated Entity had a
net  investment  in  inventories  of  $1,960,000  as  at  30  June  2013  (2012:  $4,223,000).  The  Consolidated
Entity has additional non cash facilities for bank guarantees.

(d) Fair value estimation

The  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  must  be  estimated  for  recognition  and
measurement  or  for  disclosure  purposes.  The  carrying  value  less  impairment  provision  of  trade
receivables  and  payables  are  assumed  to  approximate  their  fair  values  due  to  their  short-term  nature.
The  fair  value  of  financial  liabilities  for  disclosure  purposes  is  estimated  by  discounting  the  future
contractual  cash  flows  at the current  market interest  rate that is  available  to the Consolidated Entity  for
similar  financial  instruments.  The  fair  value  of  forward  exchange  contracts  is  determined  using  forward
exchange market rates at the reporting date.

(e) Capital risk management

Management  controls  the  capital  of  the  Consolidated  Entity  in  order  to  maintain  a  good  debt  to  equity
ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the Consolidated Entity can fund its
operations and continue as a going concern. The Consolidated Entity’s debt and capital includes ordinary
share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets. The Consolidated Entity is not subject
to any externally imposed capital requirements other than as disclosed in note 21 (f).

Management effectively manages the Consolidated Entity’s capital by assessing the Consolidated Entity’s
financial  risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes  in these risks  and in the market.
These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.
There  have  been  no  changes  in  the  strategy  adopted  by  management  to  control  the  capital  of  the
Consolidated Entity since the prior year. This strategy is to ensure that the Consolidated Entity’s gearing
ratio  remain  below  40%.  The  gearing  ratio  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2013  and  30  June  2012  is  as

5.  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates  and  judgements  are  continually  evaluated  and  are  based  on  historical  experience  and  other
factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The  Consolidated  Entity  makes  estimates  and  assumptions  concerning  the  future.  The  resulting
accounting  estimates  will,  by  definition,  seldom  equal  the  related  actual  results.  The  estimates  and
assumptions  that  have  a  significant  risk  of  causing  a  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amounts  of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Impairment testing of goodwill

The Consolidated Entity assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to
the Consolidated Entity  that  may lead  to  impairment  of  assets. Where  an  impairment  trigger  exists,  the
recoverable  amount  of  the  asset  is  determined.  Value-in-use  calculations  performed  in  assessing
recoverable  amounts  incorporate  a  number  of  key  estimates.  Impairment  of  $100,000  (2012:  nil)  has
been recognised in respect of goodwill for the year ended 30 June 2013. See note 19 for further details.

Valuation of investment property

The  Consolidated  Entity  assesses  investment  property  values  at  each  reporting  date  by  obtaining
certificates  of  valuations  from  licensed  valuers  in  accordance  with  applicable  accounting  standards.
During  the  year  ended  30  June  2013  the  investment  property  values  were  determined  by  Directors  to
have  increased  by  $1,251,785  (2012:  $3,450,000)  and  this  value  was  bought  to  account  to  reflect  the
current market value of the properties in the financial statements.  Refer to note 18 for further details.

Recognition of deferred taxation assets

The Consolidated Entity has deferred tax assets at 30 June 2013 of Nil (2012: $347,000) which were not
brought  to  account,  associated  with  tax  losses  arising  in  Australia  the  benefits  of  which  will  only  be
realised if the conditions for deductibility are met.

Restructuring costs

The Consolidated Entity brought to account a provision associated with closure of some underperforming
company owned stores. The remaining lease terms have reduced to allow commercial negotiations to be
available for surrender of leases.  A total closure provision of $351k (2012: $950k) has been made in the
reporting period.

6.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

(a) AASB 8 Operating segments

Operating Segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Consolidated
Entity that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision makers (The Board of Directors) in order
to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance.

The operating businesses are organised and managed separately according to the nature of the products
and  services  provided,  with  each  segment  representing  a  strategic  business  unit  that  offers  different
products and serves different markets.

The Consolidated Entity has the following three operating segments:

(cid:120)  The Bedshed retail bedding franchise operation;
(cid:120)  The operation of Consolidated Entity owned Bedshed stores in Western Australia, Victoria, New

South Wales and Queensland; and

(cid:120)  The property in New South Wales which is leased under the sale agreement of the Foam

Business.

Refer to note 9 for a description of discontinued operations. Transfer prices between operating segments
are set at an arms-length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)

Tax consolidation

Joyce Corporation  Ltd  and its  100%  owned subsidiaries  are  a  tax  Consolidated Entity.  Members  of  the
Consolidated Entity have not entered into  any  tax sharing or tax funding arrangements. At the reporting
date,  the  possibility  that  the head  entity  will  default  on  its  tax  payment  obligations  is  remote.  The head
entity of the tax Consolidated Entity is Joyce Corporation Ltd.

Measurement method adopted under UIG 1052 Tax Consolidation Accounting

The head entity and the controlled entities in the tax Consolidated Entity continue to account for their own
current and deferred tax amounts. The Consolidated Entity has applied the Consolidated Entity allocation
approach  in  determining  the  appropriate  amount  of  current  taxes  and  deferred  taxes  to  allocate  to
members  of  the  tax  Consolidated  Entity.  The  current  and  deferred  tax  amounts  are  measured  in  a
systematic manner that is consistent with the broad principles in AASB 112 Income Taxes.

In  addition  to  its  own  current  and  deferred  tax  amounts,  the  head  entity  also  recognises  current  tax
liabilities (or assets) and the  deferred tax  assets arising from  unused  tax  losses and  unused  tax  credits
assumed from controlled entities in the tax Consolidated Entity.

Tax consolidation contributions/ (distributions)

The Consolidated Entity has recognised no consolidation contribution adjustments.

Taxation of financial arrangements (TOFA)

Legislation  is  in  place  which  changes  the  tax  treatment  of  financial  arrangements  including  the  tax
treatment  of  hedging  transactions.  The  Consolidated  Entity  has  assessed  the  potential  impact  of  these
changes on  the  Consolidated  Entity's tax  position.  No impact  has been  recognised  and  no  adjustments
have been made to the deferred tax and income tax balances at 30 June 2013 (2012: Nil).

The  Consolidated  Entity  has  deferred  tax  assets  of  $Nil  (2012:  $347,000)  which  were  not  brought  to
account,  associated  with  tax  losses  arising in  Australia  the  benefits  of  which  will  only  be  realised  if  the
conditions for deductibility set out in note 1(b) occur.

At 30 June 2013, there is no recognised or unrecognised deferred income tax liability (2012: Nil) for taxes
that would be payable on the unremitted earnings of certain of the Consolidated Entity’s subsidiaries, as
the Consolidated Entity has no liability for additional taxation should such amounts be remitted.

10.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to ordinary
equity holders  of the parent  by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
year.

Diluted  earnings  per  share  amounts  are  calculated  by  dividing  the  net  profit  attributable  to  ordinary
shareholders (after deducting interest on the convertible redeemable preference shares) by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year (adjusted for the effects of dilutive options
and dilutive convertible non-cumulative redeemable preference shares).

The following reflects the income and share data used in the total  operations basic  and diluted earnings
per share computations:

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 day terms. A provision for impairment
loss  is  recognised  when  there  is  objective  evidence  that  an  individual  trade  receivable  is  impaired.  An
impairment provision of $41,248 (2012: $20,248) has been recognised by the Consolidated Entity.

  Considered impaired ('CI')

Receivables  past  due  but  not  considered  impaired  are:  Consolidated  Entity:  $145,019  (2012:  $58,940).
Payment terms on these amounts have not been re-negotiated however credit has been stopped until full
payment is made. Each operating unit has been in direct contact with the relevant debtor and is satisfied
that  payment  will  be  received  in  full.  Other  balances  within  trade  and  other  receivables  do  not  contain
impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these other balances will be received when due.

Due  to  the short  term nature  of  these  receivables,  their carrying value is  assumed  to  approximate  their
fair value. The  maximum  exposure to credit  risk  is  the  fair value  of  receivables. Collateral  is  not held  as
security,  nor  is  it  the  Consolidated  Entity's  policy  to  transfer  (on-sell)  receivables  to  special  purpose
entities.

(c) Foreign exchange and interest rate risk

During the reporting period Joyce invested in Convertible Notes for a total value of $900,000. The
convertible notes may be converted into shares in whole or in part at the sole discretion of the Noteholder
at any time on or before the Redemption date in respect of the applicable drawdown. The redemption
date in respect to a drawdown is a date no later than 12 months from the applicable drawdown. The
number of shares to be issued upon conversion of all or the part of the convertible notes shall be the
number calculated by dividing the monies payable which the Noteholder has elected to be converted into
shares by the issue price of $1.00 per note. The Convertible Notes attract an interest rate of 8.75% per
annum receivable monthly in advance as from the applicable Draw down Date until the Redemption Date
in respect of that Drawdown and includes the Redemption Date. Each convertible note has a face value
of $1 and is secured by a first ranking security granted by KWB Group Pty Ltd over all of its assets and
undertaking in favour of the Noteholder.

The fair value model is applied to investment properties. The investment property, located at Moorebank 
in  Sydney  southwest  industrial  precinct,  was  valued  by  registered  independent  valuers  as  at  30  June 
2012 and at 30 June 2011. The gross valuation at 30 June 2012 was $15,000,000. Joyce Corporation Ltd 
leases  its  property  to  Joyce  Foam  Pty  Ltd  (the  Company  which  acquired  the  foam  businesses  in 
November 2005) at a rental less than the current market value until 30 November 2015. The tenant has 
options  to  extend  the  lease  by  5  years  and  a  first  right  of  refusal  to  buy  the  property  if  an  offer  for 
purchase  is  made  by  a  third  party.  An  independent  valuer  arrived  at  the  above  property  valuation  after 
deducting an amount of $2,963,000 because the existing lease attracts rent at 50% or less than current 
market  rental  yields  and  the  lease  has  another  2.4  years  to  run.  At  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  the 
directors  have  updated  their  assessment  of  the  fair  value  of  the  property  after  taking  into  account  the 
most recent independent valuation. The directors have determined the property’s value within a range of 
fair  value  estimates.  This  included  assessment  of  recent  comparable  sales  in  an  active  market  in 
proximity to the investment property based on current rental yield rate trends as advised by valuers and 
real  estate  advisors.  The  current  yield  rate  was  determined  to  fall  between  8.75%  and  9.0%  which  are 
improved  yields  over  that  determined  at  30  June  2012  by  an  independent  valuer.  The  directors  have 
determined to adopt the conservative end of the range at 9% yield to determine fair value.

Intangible  assets  as  at  30  June  2013  reflects  the  value  of  the  Bedshed  activities  for  the  Bedshed
Joondalup store which was purchased in May 2007, the Bedshed Claremont store that was purchased in
October 2008 and the remaining 51% of Bedshed Franchising Pty Ltd purchased in 2006.

(b) Impairment Disclosures

Goodwill  is  allocated  to  cash-generating  units  which  are  based  on  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  operating
segments

The  recoverable  amount  of  each  cash-generating  unit  above  is  determined  based  on  value-in-use
calculations. Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections over a 5-year
period  with  the  period  extending  beyond  existing  budgets  for  the  2012/13  and  2013/14  financial  years
extrapolated  using  estimated  growth  rates.  The  cash  flows  are  discounted  using  risk-adjusted  pre-tax
discount rates.

The Consolidated Entity’s value-in-use calculations incorporated a terminal value component beyond the
5 year projection period for both the Bedshed Franchising and Bedshed Stores operating segments. The
principal assumption used to estimate the terminal value of  each  operating segment was a multiple of 3
times earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation for the year ended 30 June 2013.

Impairment of Goodwill for the year ended 30 June 2013 was $100,000 (2012: Nil).

(c) Impact of possible changes in key assumptions

Sensitivity analysis is conducted on changes  to discount factors  and growth,  which  do not highlight any
material impairment.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Joyce Corporation Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Joyce Corporation Limited, which comprises the
consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, the consolidated statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the
consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from
time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error. In Note 2(a), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101
Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with
relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s
preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the company’s  internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations
Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which
has been given to the directors of Joyce Corporation Limited, would be in the same terms if given to
the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
